"My next veg will be the sweet potato you see back there with the flat attachment to make lasagna or even use the wavy for chips or curly for fries (baked!)."
"Can hardly wait to make zucchini noodles with meat and spaghetti sauce."
"I had expected some trial and error, but there was no need to worry - in no time at all, I had made gorgeous spiralized beets and cucumbers and can’t wait to try it on everything else."
"Not to mention this spiralizer has so many different options, it's easy to use and one of my favorite parts...easy to clean!"
"I love the seven blades...makes it very versatile."
"You also save so much cash in comparison when you buy zucchini noodles at your favorite supermarkets like Trader Joe's or Whole Foods."
"We're trying to eat more vegetables on a regular basis and have been spending a fortune on spiralized zucchini and butternut squash at the grocery store."

Unlike all metal tongs I tried to use, the StarPack tongs don't slip from my grip (actually lack there of). It's difficult for me to grip a spoon and supinate my wrist to remove food from a pot of water."
"Rust on this spring seems like it's probably an inevitability as I think the spring steel used as a spring is inherently not stainless?"
"So far I've been hand-washing them most of the time to preserve their life, as the instructions recommend, but we've also run both sets through the dishwasher and will continue to do so. We've always had longer sets and I assumed we'd continue using that size, but the smaller ones are easier to handle and work great for jobs requiring more dexterity."
"I recently bought a pair of tongs from a company that spoofed StarPack; Amazon was able to get my money back as the other company was a fake (knock Off) of StarPack."
"The silicone tong heads grip food much better than metal tongs which tend to slip over and off of wet or greasy foods. However, I always placed these in the dishwasher with the high heat setting and have done so at least once or twice a week over the last three months."
"Potentially Dangerous Product. After using the longer set of tongs the very first time, I received a serious cut while washing them when the unfinished interior flange of one of the handles sliced a chunk of my index finger tip off."
These tongs are constructed of brushed stainless steel for easy cleaning and durability. A locking mechanism closes the tongs for easy storage, and provides a large loop for hanging. Locks in closed position for easy storage.

Find Best Price at Amazon"THE DESIGN. The construction of these is a brushed stainless steel frame with (removable) rubberized silicone inserts to give you more grip. The silicone inserts are tough, heat-resistant, can be removed for cleaning or replacement, and firmly lock into place so they do not pop out randomly. The mechanism to lock these closed is oversized & easy to use (even with gloves/mitts on), strong as can be, and accessible (the hanging hole is convenient.). OXO clearly spent a lot of time with the research & development because they made a product that is very functional and very durable. If there is a lot of caked-up food on them, I sometimes clean them with a metal polish called Bar Keeper's Friend (amazing stuff.). SO THIS IS AN INVESTMENT OF A QUALITY KITCHEN TOOL THAT WILL LAST. So if you are thinking, "hey, these cost more than many other tongs I have seen," I understand where you are coming from as I've been there myself. However, I highly recommend spending the few extra bucks on these OXO Good Grips as that small price premium gets you a product of exceptional quality: not only will these tongs last a very long time to offset the higher purchase price, but their good functional design makes using them more convenient (and therefore more enjoyable.)."
"I already had the bigger version of this and bought a smaller one because we use it all the time!"
"Two pairs of these are amazing for grilling, you can dual wield them and easily grab large chunks of meat off the grill no problem."
"These are the best tongs."
"I had previously purchased a pair with the nylon tip at a store and I loved it enough that I bought another one without the nylon tip here on Amazon."
"How did I do without you with of all these years of cooking, dear tongs, until I recently found you?"
"I have good bbq tongs but they feel awkward & clunky."
"I like when tongs close with pressure and open on their own when you release the pressure, I don't want to have to hook my fingers around in a weird position to push them back open or use two hands."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I own one of the small twist-style versions and the Paderno 4-blade model (technically, I also have a fourth, the Kitchen-Aid Spiralizer mixer attachment, but that's a completely different animal...). While I'll probably always use the twist-style model for really small spiralizing jobs, like doing a single vegetable for garnish, the Mueller is replacing the Paderno because, for my purposes, it's much better than the Paderno in a number of ways: 1) There's much less waste, because it doesn't create a wasted core (yeah, I know you can use it for something else, but when I'm spiralizing, I want spirals...). As to the negative reviews based on the "danger factor", I'd say anyone who finds the Mueller to be that dangerous should stay away from knives, food processors, mandolins, vegetable peelers, in short most of the utensils in the kitchen, because this one's no different: Follow the directions and you'll be fine. That took care of both of my hands, so unless you've got a third, I don't see how you can cut yourself when you're using it for spiralizing. A quick update after having used the Mueller Spiralizer quite frequently for a couple months: it continues to be the best of the bunch, by a wide margin."
"Sometimes you see a product you are so excited about, you buy it, cannot wait for it to arrive, and then once you open the box it seems to sit there for a few days, maybe a week or two, before you use it for the first time. Then you decide to slice up some more and have these prefect round discs of some apples or zucchini. It not only spiralizes to perfection, you do not have to worry about getting your counter dirty because of the convenient cup that collects what you cut up. You can store it back into the box it came in once you are done with it, but keep it close by your kitchen counter because you will constantly be using it to make healthier and superior looking side dishes or entire meals."
"Improvements that they've made over the typical designs include having a more normal "press down" instead of "press sideways" operation."
"This system is really great- everything is resin but sturdy."
"I spiralized zucchini. Can I just tell you that I did ONE medium sized zucchini and it was enough to feed four people ( just sautee it for like 5 minutes in a little olive oil and tons of garlic and a sprinkle of salt OMG). Anyway, it was super easy to set up and super easy to use."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I originally bought my dough whisk a couple of years ago. This makes mixing the initial dough much easier."
"I'm generally a bread-machine, stand-mixer type, but this whisk really does take a lot of the work out of hand mixing."
"There are other doughs however that must be mixed very delicately and kneaded as little as possible to achieve the right baked texture. I received this Danish dough whisk last week and made my first batch of soda bread with it."
"I bake a LOT of bread, pizza, cookies and other types of dough and though I have a Kitchen Aid I use for most of it, there are times it doesn't do as good a job of mixing for certain doughs - I made oatmeal, chocolate chip, coconut, walnut cookies for instance = and so I purchased this whisk based on reviews."
"This is a nice, sturdy tool to mix dough."
"It's really amazing how easily you can mix up heavy dough. Much less trouble than the mixer."
"I could mix all of the ingredients without much effort, I did not have to complete the mixing process with my hands, and the clean up process was much simpler as the dough didn't stick to the whisk nearly as much as it did the wood spoon."
"I have used it mixing up meatloaf ingredients as well."

"Pros: does not scratch pans, drains well, comfortable in hand, good sizing, insulates heat well. Cons: will melt some if left resting directly on the edge of a hot pot or pan. My wife and I use this frequently in our kitchen and it has held up well."
"The turner is good quality, solid and sturdy."
"It's difficult to quantify the reasons why, since its just a spoon, but it's easy to hold, seems to be the right length, and when I'm dishing out items from my pot into storage containers, it's the utensil I reach for."
"Perfect size and weight for use with a rice cooker when making congee or something more liquidity in the rice cooker where you don't want to scratch the non-stick pot insert of the rice cooker."
"i bought the OXO Good Grips Nylon Ladle."
"It is fairly stiff, but maybe could be just a bit thicker to give it a heftier feel."
"I had received this spoon as part of my wedding registry, but my husband ruined it by using it on a grill."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The one-piece silicone construction means there is nothing to separate or fall apart, and there are no grooves or indentations for food to get stuck in. The tops of the spatulas are just flexible enough to do the job well, without being flimsy, and the shape is well designed to make sure that you are able to scrape things clean. The lifetime warranty (which is INCREDIBLY easy to set up) ensures that if you should ever run into a problem, you are covered."
"I was pretty sure that the silicone would hold up better in the heat, the steel reinforced handles might give added strength and the one-piece design offered a utensil that might be easier to keep clean. Then the head would gradually loosen from the rigorous cleanings and I'd start losing them in my work... *extreme pet-peeve*. When I first saw them IRL my first impression was that the use-edges of the utensils were too thick. The shortest one I place upright in the flatware basket, the longer ones I still lay horizontally in the top rack but I make sure they are 'on edge' or at least angled enough so that they drain off and not have puddles of water on them to dry at the end. The two larger items have been used almost daily now for over 18 months (Which also means they have been through the dishwasher almost daily too) and I can barely tell they have been used."
"The solid core interior extends into the base of the stirring end to give it good structure so that you don't have a floppy end or one that can break off easily while in use -- and you still have the traditional flexibility at the ends and sides of the heads."
"Being molded into one piece, as these are, is preferable to ones where the handle detaches from the spatula and water and food get into the hole."
"These are good spatulas for several reasons: They're stiff enough that you can put some force into scraping, but balanced by just enough flexibility that they form right into the crevices that you want to scrape."
